  • ever wonder why it is spelled "sountrack"???

  • i first saw the original sims on computer at a friend of a friends house. I was amazed! Played them since then but the new ones arnt as good but thats just the typical "back in the day" thing when somthing used to be good now it isnt.....thats life

  • I remember being about 7 years old and my cousin Sarah coming round to stay the night. At this point, anyone who would play games with me was automatically in my good books, and my mum told her this and said that, as she was an interior designer, she should go and play The Sims with me for half an hour. Five hours later, Sarah and I had built the biggest damn two storey mansion in the history of mankind. It looked bizarre, but perfect. And this was the song that built it, I swear to God.

  • This is my favourite of them all. Positively sure.

  • I think the game series has lost it spirit and creativity since the sims 2. EA just wants to squeeze the players dry by repeating what they've done for the sims 1 again and again: Hot Date = Nightlife = Late Night; Vacation = Bon Voyage = World Adventures; Unleashed = Pets = Pets...etc. We got nothing more than improved graphics.

  • I want this song to be played at my funeral.

  • My sister played this game. I, as a young teen boy, said it was pointless and childish. The computer was in my room, and this music really grew on me. I hardly played the game, but I will forever remember those times when she did.

    Nostalgia.

  • ah man.. now i started crying! remember when i was a kid i hated this music, but now.. its beautiful.. all this nostalgia hurts

  • *sniff* so beautiful :')

  • thank you 4 this! yes, i was definitely a hardcore sims 1 player! and this song right here when i was buildn, i always stop 2 really hear it. it is so brilliant and beautiful. i even tried to play it on my keyboard once. all these songs just remind me of those years. of course most of it was playin the sims but those where the carefree innocent days 4 me in 1997. i was 17 and now im 31 just 2 clarify. ;-D

  • Wonderful music.

    I like the music from the second and the third game as well, but this is simply the best.

  • Do you remember the teleport in Sims 1 ? How wonderful was ! I miss it

  • @lavernity1 Yes! I remember having a celebrity sim do that with the pad. :D And how the sims would eat using their hands?

  • Haaa... it fills good doens´t it?... just like a blow of a fresh wind..

  • Interestingly enough, this pianist is ensured a spot in heaven. Angelic and sporadic. Love it...

  • @fury098 Couldn't have said it better myself. Nostalgia is amazing and I'm only 22.

  • Music-The Sims 1 wins

    Stories- The Sims 2 wins

    Graphics-The Sims 3 wins

  • the reason why the sims 2 & 3 not get a good result like sims 1 is the music. they should make sims 4 with classic music like this one

  • The Sims 1 is simply the best among the whole series.

  • This reminds me of when I was burgled in the game, and I placed in a wall near the edge of the lot to catch them!

  • First time hearing this song in years, I am so going to learn to play this

  • This is going on my iPod.

  • Good old times...

  • Lyrics : Sims~ Gonna build my house~ Decorate the rooms~ Spend all the money~ Make a man~ Give a girl~ Have a family~ Oh look they have a child~ Child who never ages~ Livin Large Hot Date Vacation Unleashed Superstars I have them all~ Including~ Makin Magic~ O M G a Burglar~ No need to worry~ Put an alarm~ Near their spawn points~ Now burglar is no longer your problem anymore~ Oh I smell a smoke~ Oh dammit that repoman took my fire alarm because I didn't pay bills~ Fukin bills~
  • @TargetNumber09 haha! thats brilliant =D

  • @TargetNumber09, drowning in the pool? :D

  • i swear they could make a sims 4 and i would still think that this is the best

  • MY FAVE ONE

  • This song reminds me of The Urbs in the DS...

    This version is better. =)))

  • i know when a song is good when it makes my face change and my eyebrows swing up and down with my eyes closed as the beautiful sound washes my ears. and this song accomplishes this, and much more, thanks jerry martin and marc russo, now i have a dream to pursue

  • This inspired me so much haha. You can just imagine grand staircases & foyers, gorgeous dining rooms with crystal chandeliers, elegant mahogany wood bedrooms. <3

  • so is this, the first time i hear after about 8 years. and i clicked build mode, buy mode, build mode, and so on until i get this song played to accompany me building. brings back memories. komansnala

  • I'm amazed that I can still recite these songs in my head and this must be the first time I've heard them in at least 6-8 years.

  • rosebud

  • Favorite part -- 3:03 to 3:27

  • @fury098

    Omg me too! 'high five' Well I´m 19 next week. :P

  • I wonder why they didn't put strong songs like the ones in the sims 1 in the 2 and 3... I mean, the songs there have way less feelings than this. And are so annoying after a while

  • I remember being 9 years old and having my sims passionately kiss, and I took a picture to save it as a memory. I wanted to put the caption as "passionate kiss", but I didn't know how to spell it so I asked my mom. She didn't want me ever playing sims again. Good times :'(

  • I remember squealing when I started a fire, and everyone wouldn't vare if they were NEXT to the fire, they would panic without caring about their safety. And when they yell random words like WEESNOB

  • does anyone know, where the sheets for this song are?

  • Pasztet Zajebisty xD

    Pozdrowienia!

  • @pomidorowa00 A rzeczywiście, mi też się z nim kojarzy xP

  • I can't wait till Christmas till I can get this game :0

  • @27jengirl few years behind arent we?

  • study with this in the back ground it rocks :)

  • I've been playing piano for over 7 years now because of this soundtrack. These songs will never get old

  • I loved the build music way better than buy mode. So when I was "buying" things I'd quick switch it to build mode so i could listen to the build music in buy mode

  • Nothing is more powerful than the nostalgia of home comforts when you were a kid and nothing's more powerful at releasing emotion than music. That's why this combination is so potent.

  • Thumbs up if this song runs the shivers down your back making you wonder how quickly life has passed..

  • @demoexpert364 It seems like I was still playing this, Sims City 3000, RCT2, etc very recently, but now... everything is different.

  • Anyone besides me not give a damn about playing the game, just spent all their time building houses?

  • @TonyPro79

    so true. never actually cared for the gameplay, I just wanted to build beautiful houses. Today im studying architecture and 3d visualization. thanks sims!

  • @TonyPro79

    Probably my sister ;)

  • My mother bought the Sims for my sister and I back in 2002, thinking it would help us be more creative by building houses. But then she saw us burning Sims, drowning Sims, and starving Sims. We were literally little shit heads. So she went to uninstall the game, but she heard this track as we were building. She stopped, and listened. The next day I asked her if she was still going to take it away. She said she wouldn't, just because of the music.

  • The best point at Sims 1 was, that you wasn't bored so you didn't always searched for new ways to kill your sims more creative (like in sims 3 -_-)

  • I got the chills.

  • I'm crying, this just brings such warm feelings back.

  • This gives me so much nostalgia!

  • brings my childhood back. I owe a lot to this game.

  • best one. I have all of them except house party and hot date but I can't even play them anymore DX my laptop can't handle it...I'm so sad

  • VIVE BOBRAIE

  • 15 dislikes? WTF, how do you dislike this music?! If you dislike it, you never played the original the Sims, and if you haven't, well, then your opinion is not valid and you can go screw yourself.

  • this was my favorite out of them all

  • this is a remix of the pet shop in the sims busting out

  • i remember creating collection of tombs in my backyard

  • Single nostalgia tear.

  • beautiful!

  • Where is the 'd' in soundtrack? o_o

  • One of those pieces of music you wished would never end.

  • The sims 3 gameplay might be superior, but its music will never win against this. :) I love the music from the first Sims game. Especially all the build mode pieces.

  • people dont talk about memories and missing part of your life... download the sims and play it...like me:D the first game is the best game!

  • Quisiera volver a tocar mi rostro cuando era niño. Quiero volver a ver el árbol gigante y amarillo, que cubría mi ventana; deseo volver a sentir la calidez del sol, el color de los ojos de alguien a quien amé y ya no está. Deseo intensamente retroceder, siempre, para siempre, retroceder.

  • @JuanAbrilRamos Qué inspirador. :)

  • so this is the part in my life where I decide to learn piano..

  • heheh, dont bother sweatin' about it...just learn how to listen very carefully and also rather learn how to apreciate it

  • this is my favourite piano piece

  • man!

    i miss my house

  • best soundtrack in all sims games made so far

  • I'm sorry but I cried from hearing this. Is Nostalgia hitting me that hard :'(.

  • This is the music played in heaven.

  • Oh my, this channel is a chest of treasured memories, haha. =)

    Gotta love it! I had a great time with The Sims, even when i was a child and couldn't understand what i was supposed to do. XD

    Thanks for sharing btw, this soundtrack is pretty much awesome. ;)

  • You have no idea how stress-relieving this is. Very nice.

  • I just wanna say - I love all you people T____T <3

    I love seeing people remembering the joys of the Sims =)

  • @hatsuharu333 I love you too. <3

  • As a kid instead of playing grand theft auto i would kill my sims instead haha

  • i love this one! it has so much power!

  • i just love ts1 songs so much :)

  • This piano music feels like home.

  • can't help putting this into my iPod.

  • I remember one morning waking up and looking outside to seeing a cloudy day. I turned on my PC, and loaded the Sims 1. Of course, it took nearly a half hour to load, but after that it felt like my mind opened up. No other game has done that to me such as all of the Sims series.

  • @MetaTekReviews --- Reticulating splines

  • this music was relaxing and pleasant while you built /furnished your house, I am still a sims fan but the music for the shoping/buildmode from sims 2 and 3 drives me nuts after a while!!!

  • thanx, I just got a little part of my self back! did'nt even know it was missing until now

  • Would always be one of the best games I have ever played, Sims 1 beats 2 and 3 hands down. Memorable soundtrack, can remember every bit of the song till this day!!

  • Who else hears the sound of walls being built in their head?

  • @deadlybug I hear the noise of where when you build and you went over the limit of the space and hearing myself curse. LOL

  • This is like the song repsresenting the whole The sims series o.O nah maybe not, but it's sooooo awesome :3.

  • By the way, if you want this on sheet music, you can download it here: scribd.com/doc/23544235/The-Si­ms-Building-Theme-6-The-Simple­-Life

    I play (a bit) piano myself, but this song is still a bit too tricky, so: good luck!

  • It's beautiful!

  • Coman schnala! Degg degg, zoom zoom. :)

  • mortaleeeee, si no me viciaba con este juego casi eh!

  • ;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!

  • Andy Serkis? GOLLUM?! :D

  • So I build this epic batchelor pad, it took me 3 hours to build.  After that, i pretty much exit the game... yeah....

  • @apriswajaya I think that's how we all play it.. :D

  • God bless Martin and Russo for this gift of a song. Made me peacefully build many houses way back in 2002. Bring this style back for sims 4 build mode.

  • MEMORIES!! :')

  • this song is so awesome... i wish i could play piano...

  • I remember placing a ton of rugs and that huge indoor scuba diving thing on the second floor while listening to this song xD

  • This song is way to good for this soundtrack.

  • This reminds me of how many hours I spent nurturing a virtual family as a child. I loved this game. It was such a beautifully simple game, with its little elements of humor that I probably didn't understand back then. Thank you for uploading this.

  • i loved the music in the sims 1 but the one in sims 2 snd 3 always makes me angry so i turn it offf and listen to my own music

  • NOSTALGIA OH MY GODD

  • 14 peope hate the sims

  • 14 people need to be put in a swimming pool with no ladder.

  • @joedrum2011 That was so fun to do >:D

  • @joedrum2011 LOL this comment made my day!

  • @joedrum2011 Too bad you can't do that in the Sims 3. I really enjoyed making my Sims drown. :(

  • It's funny how we never realized the beauty aspect of the Sims while growing up. Now, coming back to old memories and hearing the Build Mode soundtrack, I'm realizing just how much the phenomenal background music added to my love for the game.

  • @xtiffnayy I realized it! No, really!

  • @xtiffnayy

    That's exactly it :)

  • I love this song so much.

  • I think this is my favorite of the building ones. 

  • @Hashbrowniepie ME TOO!

  • I often stayed in the Build Mode, turned Off the Screen and just listened to the Music when i used to play the game ... So enchanting!

  • memories... listening to all the sims 1 songs right now... best soundtrack of all the sims. sims 2 was okay but sims 3 was my least fav soundtrack. sims 1 was my favorite.

  • This was my favorite build mode song.

  • 14 people didn't have a childhood

  • Love ♥

  • Two days ago, this song started playing in my head, when I was playing the piano. I had no idea at the time where I remembered this song from, and I was just thinking and thinking about it at the back of my mind. Today it came to me.... Man this song is just.....

  • Such a great soundtrack - love the original Sims! Could listen to this stuff for hours....

  • loved the music more than the actual game probably, I could be building for hours listening to this :)

  • I LOVE this music, it reminds me of warm rainy days in the summer where all you can do is stay inside and play Sims until your eyes bleed.
